Despite the heavy reinforcements, the Ciermanline contiuued to bend and give, with Foch's forces throwing back the desperate counters and gaining at all thevital oints.Foch is now using against the Germans the "pinchertactics" which von Hindenburg used so successfullyagainst the Russians and attempted time and again touse on the western front, and already it is apparent thathe will,ultlmate!jrjbapture many of the more than halfmillion Gennana Apparently 'witWn.ve.,gra8pvBlu)ttldhe succeed in his tactics, the third battle, of the Marne,Which ;6pep.e4xt7Wrre4iay8rago inr a great German "offensive and a drive for Paris, will end in the greatest defeat qf the great war.ALREADY GREATEST RATTLEThe battle has already become the greatest battleof all times. Within the Marne salient at the presenttime are at least seventy German divisions, this manyhaving leen identified within the past few days. This,even with the lessened strength of a German division,brings the number of Germans in the zone of the presentbattle close to a million men, all engaged. Opposingthese are as many, or more, men of the Allied force.The Germans are fighting with very much less artillery than the Allies, having rushed the greater number of their guns to the north of the Soissons-Rheims linein order to save them from falling into the hands of theAllies. The Allies have brought up mucJi artillery andnearly every foot of the ground still held by the Germans is under shell fire. Every section of railroad available for German use is dominated by the Allied gUus.Everv highroad and tram line is being bombarded.EXIT GROWS SMALLERFrom the advanced positions captured west ofRheims by the British in their latest advance along theVesle Valley, to the heights southeast of Soissons occupied by the Americans, an opening of twenty-one milesis still left for the Germans, but all of it is under artillery fire, with this gap threatening to dose still further.Yesterday the Americans on the center of the western side of the salient gained east of Armentieres andOulchy le ('hateau and the highroad center of Fere-en-"Tardenois has been brought under a heavy crossfire.From Fere en-Tardenois radiate eight roads, upon whichthe Germans have depended for the supplying of almosttheir entire western line since the cutting of the Soissons( 'hateau Thierry railroad. The American and Frenchguns are now pouring a torrent of shells into Fere-en-Tardenoisand that center of supplies must le practically untenable, although the Gewnans must hold it or endanger their entie right flank.On the opposite side of the salient, the German dependence is upon the Fismes-Verneuil tram line, withinshelling distance of which are French, Rritish and Italian batteries for its entire lengthMANY ROYS AMONG PRISONERSSo far in the battle the French forces have takenmore than twenty-five thousand prisoners, over five hundred guns and a thousand machine guns. Fourteen percent of the prsioners taken to date are loys of the 191!)class.. The pincher tactics of General Foch, according to thelatest bulletins from the front last night, are showingmore and more signs of success. Fresh German troopsare being brought in the battle and these have beencounter attacking at many points with the greatest offury, with the heaviest of the counter drives directedagainst the Americans and French in the Ourcq Valleyand against the Rritish opposite, immediately southwestTHE SOISSONS-RHEIMS POCKET-M.p'.of the section of France where the greatest battle of the year is raging along the. imtf.a,,fifty;mle emi-circle- Th Amerlcins and French are amashing against the Germans on the western side, with British.French and IUUana driving forward along the eart. tha afcject being to hem a half million Germans in.
